This workshop is for intermediate- advanced sewers only.
In this class, students will learn the technique of foundation piecing. The miniature Log Cabin blocks will finish at 3” with strips of 1⁄4”. Don’t be intimidated by the small scale; Students always report that it was much easier than they thought it would be. The class also includes information about printers/papers/other specialty materials, and Electric Quilt software. There is also discussion about quilting/finishing techniques that work well with this size of blocks. Class length is approximately 3 hours.
Students must bring the following supplies:
• Sewing machine
• Basic sewing supplies
• Schmetz Microtex needles work well, but any small needle (size 11 or 10 )
• Lightweight cotton thread that blends with your fabrics (50 weight or finer)
• 8-10 WOF strips, 1” wide, sorted into lights and darks. Small scale prints, tone on tones, and solids work especially well
• Think about using a contrasting fabric for the very center of your squares. Bright colors work well here, and only a small amount is needed.
• Open-toe foot
• Rotary cutter/ruler
• Optional: mini iron and pressing mat
NOTE: Foundations will be supplied. The product prefered is Foundation Stuff by George Siciliano, plenty of sample patterns will be provided.
